This review article examines the emerging role of diaphragm neurostimulation as a potential therapeutic intervention for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The authors synthesize recent evidence demonstrating that targeted electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerve or diaphragm can attenuate ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction, preserve respiratory muscle strength, and potentially improve weaning outcomes in critically ill patients. For a medical student focused on evidence-based acute care, this review provides a forward-looking perspective on a technology that may shift clinical management paradigms for respiratory failure in the intensive care unit.
